Celaya Reposado Tequila 750mL

Celaya Reposado Tequila

100% Blue Weber Agave | Reposado Tequila | Jalisco, Mexico | Aged 3 Months in Ex-Bourbon Casks | 40% ABV / 80 Proof | 750mL

Process & Profile

Celaya Reposado brings a gentle layer of oak to the brand's agave foundation. Rested for three months in retired bourbon casks, it offers soft dried-fruit notes alongside caramel and a warm, spicy finish. It sits between the fresh Blanco and longer-aged Añejo, making it a useful choice when you want both agave character and a measured barrel influence.

Celaya starts with a 50/50 mix of highland and lowland Blue Weber agave from Jalisco. One portion is cooked in an autoclave and the other in traditional brick ovens for up to 54 hours. After the juice is extracted, fermentation with naturally occurring yeast can take up to 60 hours, followed by double distillation.

The three-month rest gives this reposado its golden color and rounds the profile without taking it as far into oak as Celaya Añejo's year of maturation. Bottled at 40% ABV, it is full-bodied enough for a slow neat pour and flexible enough to bring warmth to a favorite tequila cocktail.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Soft dried-fruit notes set the tone for a warm, gently sweet profile.
• Palate: Full-bodied agave character meets caramel and a rounded impression of dried fruit.
• Finish: Warm spice and oak carry the finish, balancing the softer fruit notes.

What Makes It Special

• Three months in retired bourbon casks: A brief barrel rest adds warmth and depth.
• A middle ground in the range: More oak influence than Blanco, with less maturation than Añejo.
• Highland and lowland agave: An equal mix of Blue Weber agave from both Jalisco regions.
• Two cooking methods and double distillation: A deliberate foundation before barrel aging.
• Sipping and cocktail flexibility: Caramel, fruit and spice suit both simple pours and spirit-forward serves.

How to Enjoy

Begin neat in a tasting glass, then add a large ice cube if you prefer a cooler, gentler serve. Compare the first sip with a later one as the ice melts, paying attention to the balance between agave, dried fruit and oak.

For a cocktail, try a reposado Margarita or a tequila Old Fashioned with a restrained measure of agave syrup and bitters. Grilled chicken, roasted vegetables or lightly spiced dishes are pairing suggestions that give its warmer character room to show.
